Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. (March 23, 2007)

Former Lost castaway Cynthia Watros has been cast in the CBS pilot The
Rich Inner Life of Penelope Cloud as Eve, the lesbian roommate and ex-lover
of the lead character, played by Marisa Tomei. As I mentioned previously, Eve
is a choreographer who once had a fling with Tomei’s Penelope and is currently
sleeping with her lead dancer (who is not being played by Michelle Rodriguez).

Speaking of Lost, the ABC drama’s long-rumored gay character will
make his or her debut on next week’s episode, "Expose." No word yet
on whether the gay character is a man or a woman, but if the results of this
poll are any indication, we’re not likely to see Elizabeth Mitchell and
Evangeline Lilly recreating that chain-link fence scene from Gia
anytime soon.

A LESBIAN IN A HORROR MOVIE? THAT’S ABOUT AS ORIGINAL AS CASTING A
DRAMA QUEEN ON AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL.
Good news for Fergie fans: Stacy Ferguson, aka Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas,
has a small role as a lesbian in the upcoming Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriguez
horror film Grindhouse. But given how the lesbian character fared in
the last film they did together (short version: she was kidnapped, tortured
and mutilated), this may actually be better news for anti-Fergie
fans.

Grindhouse, which opens April 6th, is really two horror movies played
back-to-back with fake trailers in between.
